Supposedly the same data only. They come from different origins, and you're
hiding this quite well by leaving all sites in place where the field is
written. Both items are also used for entirely separate purposes. So you
need to
- explain why both sources of information necessarily provide the same
data,
- especially if there's remaining concern from the above explanation that
the two values might end up different in corner cases (running
virtualized ourselves comes to mind as a possible example), explain why
nevertheless it is fine (risk free) to use the consolidated item for
all of the originally separate purposes,
- either explain or do away with the multiple places setting this single
remaining field.

Nit: Stray blank after closing square bracket.
